Abstract :
The application of thyristor converters to the excitation of large generators as shunt connected solid-state exciters is described. Considerations important during the planning stage are discussed and some important exciter design details are given. The importance of the topic, control of power system stability by adjustment of generator excitation, is highlighted by reference to many other papers.
